MrDonovan

The correct answer is C) President Johnson used his political skills to pressure Congress to pass the act.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 started as a piece of legislation developed by president Kennedy in the summer of 1963. After using executive power to desegregate the University of Alabama, Kennedy made a speech to a national audience regarding civil rights. He claimed that America, as a whole, must work together to treat African Americans equally. This is where he proposes his ideas for a civil rights bill that would ensure legal and social equality for African American citizens.

After his unexpected death, Lyndon B Johnson made it a goal to get this bill passed in Kennedy's honor.
